We have mock orange tree fence post at our property down in South Montgomery that are as old as me. Lightning and cows can’t hurt them.

Pretty neat. However, they tested western cedars. Mountain grown eastern red cedar can be very durable.

Black Locust is the weapon of choice in this area , if you can find them. There's some across the road from my house my granddaddy put in the ground in 1968 . Most are still in good shape and holding wire.

Black Locust is the weapon of choice in this area , if you can find them. We've got a few black locust posts left that are close to 40 years old. Most of the load my dad bought back then were split. Nearly all the split ones are gone. There were some smaller ones that were not split. Some of those are still here.

Osage Orange/ Bowdock, or Boi' de' arc', Wood of the bow, is what Native Americans preferred to make their bows out of for obvious reasons. Its strong, durable, pliable, and lasts forever. I have seen it make chainsaws spark and dont you dare put it in a campfire cause it will burn for two days and shoot off sparks.

I can’t verify this but I’ve had more than one old farmer tell me that a posts lasts a lot longer if it’s put in the ground “upside down”..... as is with the butt end of the post in the air and the top end stuck in the ground. The theory is that a post with the butt end put in the ground would continue to draw water and therefore rot quicker.
I walked an old fence with him once and he pointed out the ones his daddy had “put in wrong” when he was a kid. There was a noticeable difference I've heard that also.

Piling are driven in “upside down” and so are fence posts by commercial fencing operations.

Hedge apple is some hard ass wood. Makes a great whoopin stick
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

There's a reason why you primarily find Osage on fence rows and property lines.
In my experience, southern cedar is the worst wood to use for anything. If it's not already rotten, when you cut it, then it'll be rotten within a year.
